Often times adaptive climbers do not have many or even any other adaptive climbers in their community. We know it’s hard to do it alone in climbing and frankly it’s simply more fun if you can work on things with others, problem solve, and share our experiences.

From climbing the steep slopes of Killington Mountain for 14+ miles and over 5000 vertical feet with dozens of obstacles along the way at the Spartan Beast last September to the 39.3 miles of the Goofy Race-and-a-Half Challenge this past weekend, it has been one of the most enriching experiences of my life. Running is an activity that has never been one of my strengths. That’s why a...
